I'm going to try to stay away from the trailer.  I've been trying to avoid spoilers but i already know much more than I'd like.

And I dont understand the people who have been trying to learn as much as they can about the story.  I've found that it's always best to go into a movie knowing as little as possible so you can just simply let the story unfold on its own. 

It's going to be hard enough to watch this movie without being constantly distracted that I'm watching a "star wars" movie and scrutinizing every little detail about it....

 I agree about the story. It always bums me out to accidentally come across a major spoiler that was supposedly leaked from people involved in the filming. Some of them are probably real.

But I've watched/read everything officially released, and am happy to (over)analyze with everyone else and read the theories and conjecture that all comes about. They're letting out a pretty controlled, small stream of information and there's not long to go. So far it works for me. I'll certainly watch the trailer, but might become much more careful about what I read and the sites I visit in the final months.

edit: Who knows how I'll actually feel later on, but I think I might keep myself much more in the dark for VIII and IX. The excitement for VII is largely due to the desire to see this universe alive again, how it's being handled, if it works, what the new and old characters are like, etc. But VIII will be a proper sequel to a storyline that I'll hopefully be invested in. I don't generally watch trailers for the next episode of a TV series, and I might not follow the production of VIII so closely.
